I’m hard at work in our SRFD kitchen this week, baking up a storm getting ready to share some brand new recipes with you!

We have a wide variety of cookies, a little candy, and delicious cakes that are sure to satisfy your holiday sweet tooth. Some are perfect for gifting, shipping, and sharing, while others make a stunning statement on your Christmas table. Be sure to pin your favorites so they’ll be easy to find in the weeks ahead!

Gingerbread Roll with Lemon Cream Cheese Filling – a delightful dessert that’s not too sweet, loaded with warm, aromatic spices and flavored with just the right amount of molasses.

Peanut Butter Blossoms – a family favorite for generations! Who can resist the classic combination of chocolate and peanut butter?

Spritz Cookies – delicate, yet crisp, little cookie with a deep buttery flavor and a hint of almond. Spritz is a German word meaning ‘to squirt.’ We Squirt the soft dough through a cookie press, fitted with various designs, directly onto the baking sheet. The dough can be tinted with food color and decorated with candy, sprinkles, fruit pieces, chopped nuts, currants or raisins.

Roczki Cookies (Kolacky) – made with a tender, yeasted dough rolled up in a cigar shape with a simple, lemony, ground nut filling. Typical of older recipes, these cookies are not terribly sweet but have a wonderful, unique and simple flavor.

Pecan Sandies – Classic shortbread cookies filled with toasted pecans and vanilla beans with a crisp coating of coarse sugar. They travel extremely well and have an easy make-ahead dough. Slice and Bake!

Peppermint Pie – light and fluffy, simple and sweet, with all the flavors of the holiday season!
